Danny Eugene Olson Jr. was born September 13, 1982 to Danny Sr. and Brenda Olson in Eureka, and passed away August 26, 2024 in Mineral Springs, Arkansas.

Danny was an incredibly kind, loving, gentle soul. Always looking for the positive in life. He had the sweetest smile and infectious laugh. He loved music, fishing, animals and nature in general. He loved to tinker and could fix anything that was broken, especially cars and electronics.

Danny proudly served his country in the U.S. Air Force Reserves. He then went on to driving truck, mostly long haul. Although he stepped away a few times to challenge himself in other professions, he would ultimately find himself back in the driver’s seat seeing the countryside and making friends along the way.

Although Danny has left us far too soon and completely heartbroken, he has given us all the beautiful lasting memories of his 42 years of life that will never ever be forgotten and will help to carry us through this unbelievable loss.

Danny is preceded by his grandfather Melvin “Mel” Gross, his great grandfather John Mitts Sr, his great grandmother Florence Mitts, his grandmother Joyce Gross and his great uncle Jon Mitts.

Danny is survived by his mother Brenda Olson, his father Danny Olson Sr. (Jan), his brothers Shane and Cole Olson, his grandfather Robert Olson, his grandmother Cheri Olson, his aunts, Teresa Welch (Herman), Teri Gross and Melanie Noe (Larry).
